War Has Been Declared By the Left: The Swamp Must Be Drained and It Won’t be Easy Obama has organized to fight Trump's policies. Never before have we seen a departing president intrude so onerously on a new president's political domain.

When unelected judges dangerously usurp power by issuing a temporary restraining order against a presidential national security executive order, we have reason to be concerned. It’s ideological tampering that falls under a bully-prerogative geared to disrupt attempts by our newly elected president to lead. The U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, did exactly that. They thumbed their noses at established precedent, our constitution and the wishes of Donald Trump who executed an order banning refugees from seven countries known to export terror.

The Ninth Circuit’s restraining order keeps our borders open to potential terrorists while ignoring the safety of our homeland. People who should not have due process are prioritized over our own citizens. For the record, 72 individuals from those 7 countrieshave been convicted of terrorist charges since 9/11. Our enemies watch as we bicker over who’s in charge. Is it our newly elected president or three left wing judges intoxicated by their own power who temporarily stopped a presidential travel ban whose explicit goal was to keep America safe?

Trump’s executive order will prevail. He has the constitution on his side.

The court inexplicably concluded there would be no ‘hardship’ caused by their restraining order. They naively insult the victims who suffered injury and loss of life from acts of terror in cities from Boston to New York to Orlando to San Bernardino. Have any of these judges stepped foot in one of those seven banned countries to see what those places produce? Do they understand what’s entailed in vetting a refugee to keep terrorists out. Do they see the onslaught of terror in Europe where open borders prevail?

At a minimum, can they acknowledge what they do not understand? Their actions and judicial overreach represent a deranged pursuit of globalist open borders; madness Trump rightfully chooses to avoid.

If the too liberal, too big nine state circuit wields this kind of power, isn’t it time to whittle them down to size? Trey Gowdy tells us, no one familiar with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals should be surprised at today’s ruling. The 9th Circuit has a well-earned reputation for being presumptively reversible. By that he means, eighty percent of the appeal court’s rulings have been overturned when challenged in front of the Supreme Court.

There is proposed legislation from Republican Senators Jeff Flake and John McCain to remove six states leaving the 9th with only California, Oregon, Hawaii and two island districts.

Acts of intimidation have been coming fast from the left and are not likely to stop. It’s a desperate attempt to discredit Trump. We’ve witnessed congressional lethargy toward cabinet confirmations intended to slow Trump down. Democrats united to thwart his efforts any way they can. We’ve also seen demonstrations, violence and a whopping $600,000 worth of damage most recently on the Berkeley, California streets against Milo Yiannopoulos, whose self-described ordeal goes like this:

Following the chaos, only one suspect was arrested, and celebrities, the mainstream media, the Mayor of Berkeley, and UC Berkeley administrators blamed the damage on me– a homosexual conservative who was unable to deliver a speech because students, brainwashed by their Marxist professors, decided to set their campus on fire.

Interesting that UC Berkeley objects so strenuously to a bold conservative ‘gay’ speaker whose right to free speech was denied. He was bundled up and herded out of the building, his safety imperiled. Berkeley’s dependence on 370 million in federal funding should give them pause far more than Milo’s right to speak.

The Department of Education has the financial tools to destabilize universities – a much needed jolt of reality for coddled college snowflakes and tenured radicals.

We don’t have to look too far to see from whence it comes. Sanctioned rage filters down from the top. We observed Obama and Hillary’s obvious ‘heartened’ delight over the 9th court’s action – bully tactics empowered by Democratic leaders who encourage violence and ignore the laws while revealing their utter indifference for the best interests of our country.

The swamp is deep, filled with desperate individuals whose objective is to derail Trump any way they can.

Trump is under assault. General Mike Flynn was forced to resign taken out by individuals high up in the intelligence community who leaked phone transcripts of a foreign national to the media. Flynn was outed in three short weeks, a victim of leakers by Trump enemies, holdovers from the previous administration. Those who leak must be identified, rooted out and punished. Trump’s administration has been subject to a constant stream of leaks which obligates Trump to clean house as fast as possible.

This story gets worse.

We’ve learned that Obama in the final days of his second term issued new rules under section 2.3 of Executive Order 12333, approved by Attorney General Loretta Lynch and National Intelligence Director, James Clapper that expanded the power of the National Security Agency (NSA) to share globally intercepted personal communication with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying any privacy protections. These agencies had not routinely received this kind of intelligence, not without an explicit need to know. This means, the new rules significantly relaxed longstanding limits on what the NSA may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations. It also empowered far more agents and officials to search through raw intelligence data. As a direct consequence the prospect of intel leaks grew exponentially.

This policy change adversely effectedformer National Security Adviser General Flynn. Trump and Flynn got caught in this pernicious Obama-rule change that lay in wait to entrap them. Trump must immediately revise Executive Order 12333 to stop the intelligence leaks and protect our national security.

Now we know why the Trump administration has been inundated by leaks and though this rule change is legal, it was nothing less than deliberate.

But it escalates again from there.

The New York Post tells us that Obama has a radical Alinsky army of professionally trained agitators, 30,000 we’re told, who will fight Trump’s every move. A shadow opposition government under the auspices of Organizing for Action, with 250 well funded offices across America whose sole purpose is to sabotage Trump’s agenda.

The anti-Trump marches (riots) across our country were organized by Obama in response to Trump’s immigration ban on the seven countries just discussed among other perceived insults.

How do we respond to a former radical left wing president who chooses to disrupt the administration of the current president whose objectives are considerably different from his own. Is this not sedition? Have we everseen a former president stoop to such combative and subversive tactics as these?

Under these circumstances, Trump is entitled to embrace his own offensive tactics in asunprecedented a manner as Obama has chosen to act.

It’s a fight fire-with-fire scenario. A former president declaring war on a newly elected president – a power struggle. Trump has the military, national guard and cops wholly on his team. Battle lines drawn, if it comes to that.

For now it seems the Democrats control the narrative. Gingrich, Christie and Giuliani are shrewd politicians Trump could use right now. Countering-obstruction is what they do.

How will the majority of Americans respond to a former president who deigns to further debase his stature in this way? Trump supporters will rally behind their man along with others who will move to the Trump camp. The majority will uphold our democracy.

Decency and ethics count. An unimpeded former presidential ideologue who demeans his position will lose the people.

But in Obama’s case, he already lost the people on November 8th. They voted for change. Tin eared Obama doesn’t care.

You hit all the points — well done! Apparently there are 25000 more snowflake “protestors” attending Alinsky Soldier School at this time , and they are due to graduate and hit the streets in March . Obama is back in his DC Rent a Bunker/ War Room and ready to direct his Shadow Government and Marxist street zealots with Soros’ funding in tow….. this terrible evil does not go away easily but every bit of light helps.

Obama waited for 8-years before invoking his Executive Order 12333. The man is a perfect concoction of evil, cunning, and malfeasance. Obama, through legal yet immoral means, chose to diminish our national security protections so that he (Obama) make Trump’s job more difficult. Elaine, I hope you follow up and keep us informed as to the sequella of executive order and other

Yes Paul, you are right. Obama is like no other and you describe him so well. He left no stone unturned in his haste to trip up Trump in any way he could. Trump has already made many positive moves. It might be time for me to discuss all the good developments coming from our new president. Thanks for your comment.

What a great piece! It captured the essence of what is going on in our society! A wealthy individual ( George Soros ) has planned this long before Obama left office. He has financed disruption and riots. Soros is using the Nazi method to gain power in Germany. They brainwashed the German masses by repeating false news over and over again. The repetition of lies are eventually believed by the people. That in coordination with hired thugs who disrupt is how they create political chaos. We must support our president and country by countering what they are trying to do.

Nice piece Elaine. Forget Obama and the radical left for a moment. Trump’s real antagonist is going to be John McCain. He can’t stand the fact that Trump won the presidency and he’s going to do everything in his power to be a thorn in his side. The folks in Arizona should have put him out to pasture long ago. Or better yet, they should have put him back in a gulag where he can brew and stir in angry, frustrated isolation without causing our party, or our nation any harm. And let’s not forget Pocahontas… excuse me, I meant Elizabeth Warren, our esteemed senator from Massachusetts. She’s just as dangerous, but her agenda is self-serving rather than vindictive. She has her eye on 2020. Bottom line, both are toxic to Trump. And sadly, by implication, our nation.

Bill……John McCain is an 80 year old congressional relic who hasn’t contributed much to the Republican party in my estimation. He is often described as a RINO because his conservative principles are questionable. When Trump attacked his war record he made McCain an enemy. Trump reacts impulsively especially when he feels attacked but the truth is McCain is not particularly impressive and that is really why Trump attacked his war record. McCain never gave Trump much support but neither did McConnell or Ryan or Boehner for that matter – all disappointing individuals who kowtowed to Obama and actually in their way, created the Trump win. Republicans control capital hill though they’re so opaque they don’t give Trump the credit for that. Without Trump there would be no Republican majority. I’m not spooked by McCain although he and Graham, another loser, could create some problems. Trump will prevail nonetheless. Elizabeth Warren is a vicious rabid leftist who seems set on moving her party further left which has caused the public to rescind and move away from individuals like her. I am not worried about her. Massachusetts is a blue/blue state that seems to lack basic common sense among its constituents. Trump’s greatest adversaries will be Obama and Soros, two men set on reversing the coarse of America back to a progressive agenda. The American people said no. You need to get out of the Upper West Side. The area is malignant with hate and resentment. Crazed Ideologues can wear you down. Thank you for your comment.

Really enjoyed your piece Elaine. I recently listened to a talk by David Horowitz on how US university’s faculties are not only controlled by the Far Left Academic Mafia, but also consistently sacrifice academic competence for political ideology in making academic appointments. The result is that our great universities have become, aside from the hard sciences, non-academic indoctrination mills, intellectually dishonest and corrupt, and almost identical to the major universities in the Soviet Union, China, Albania and Cuba. All busts of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, etc. should be removed from most colleges, in order to not blaspheme these great academic figures. Moreover, the administrators at most of these colleges are just as bad as the Far Left faculty. I believe that this is one of the most urgent problems that the Trump administration needs to address and would strongly suggest that the Department of Education send a directive creating an affirmative action program for conservative students and faculty that requires that over 5 years, Conservative faculty members make up no less than 20% of the faculty, as well as making all Federal Aid contingent upon the universities affirmatively promoting, as well as insuring a forum for, the free exchange of ideas. I would add to that a requirement that campus police be required to disband and arrest any demonstrators who made it impossible for unpopular speakers to be heard by those who came to listen. On the self help tip, I would recruit former special forces operatives to run counter demonstrations at colleges where the Left Wing Thugs attempt to shut down speakers on the Right.
That’s all for now.
